Is your child with ADHD struggling with reading, thinking, concentrating, or organizing?

Even if your child is performing well at school, he may have a disability under Section 504 and be entitled to special education or related aids and services.

If you have a child with ADHD or you advocate for a child with ADHD, the publications in today's newsletter are required reading.

In this issue of the Special Ed Advocate you will find answers to your questions about services and accommodations for a child with ADHD and get clarification on your child's rights.

We hope you will forward this issue to other friends, families, or colleagues.
